Abstract: A dispensing cap construction for containers includes a cap body for attachment to a container neck, the cap body having a discharge spout portion, and a closure cap turnably carried by the cap body and overlying the spout portion. The closure cap has a non-round orifice, and a stopper blade located in the closure cap and receivable in the orifice so as to close off the same. Resilient oppositely-disposed spaced-apart support legs are connected with the stopper blade and mount the latter on the spout portion. The resilient legs retain the stopper blade against outward axial movement with respect to the spout portion of the cap body while simultaneously enabling limited rotary movement of the stopper blade with the closure cap as the latter is shifted axially outward on the cap body, to thereby effect removal of the stopper blade from the orifice.

Abstract: A tamper evident cap designed for threading onto a container by conventional bottle capping machinery. The cap includes a first set of spaced-apart lugs for engaging a second set of spaced-apart lugs of a container. The lugs of the cap and the lugs of the container neck are constructed to slide relative to each other upon threading of the cap onto the container while engaging each other to prevent unthreading of the cap from the container. The container neck is especially suited for glass bottles which must be blow molded. The cap includes a first skirt portion and a separable strip, and may include a second skirt portion that remains on the container neck after the separable strip has been removed. The gap between the skirt portions left by removing the separable strip indicates that the cap has been tampered with.

Abstract: A dispensing cap construction having a closure button which is pivotally mounted in the upper portion of a tubular cap body. The closure button and the cap body have communicating discharge passages, and the button has an orifice at the end of its discharge passage. The button orifice is normally closed by the upper wall of the cap body, and such wall is resilient and has a bulge which extends into the button orifice to act as a detent thereby to minimize the likelihood of the botton becoming inadvertently opened.
